Ongoingness Christopher Hitchens we each lose two hundred

we each lose two hundred thousand objects over our lifetime

but she still misses Mommy as deep as the ocean and as high as an astronaut up in the stars

Steel toe protection

physical vulnerability and emotional loss taking place in her senior years

Moving back and forth between the vicarage and Cassandra's vibrant memories of her years with Jane

Ongoingness Christopher Hitchens we each lose two hundred[Manguso] has written the memoir we didn't realize we needed. The New Yorker In Ongoingness, Sarah Manguso continues to define the contours of the contemporary essay. In it, she confronts a meticulous diary that she has kept for twenty five years. I wanted to end each day with a record of everything that had ever happened, she explains. But this simple statement belies a terror that she might forget something, that she might miss something important.
